Today I fought my dragons and won. An opportunity to share presented itself and I felt as though I had a piece worth sharing. Confidence? Maybe? Perhaps the sense of community in the room, knowing that it was a safe place, a place of encouragement for a beginning writer. Perhaps too, it was the feedback that I received on one of my blogs that gave me the courage, as I realized the truth in what was told to me from a writer that I admire. Thank you for those words! Today was a beginning, at last.
Sharing is a very scary thing, but sharing what you write is the purpose of writing. All writers strive for the audience reaction. Rich and I count the "hits" on our blog. Without readers, why would we write? Be brave, share. And, become the writer that you can be.
